Needless? Yes. Enjoyable? Also, yes.

I'm not entirely sure 'Lady and the Tramp' was a film that needed remaking but here we are. This 2019 production is solid. I like the way it is shot and brought to life. It's rewritten in a few parts, to mostly positive effect - though the original film is still, by a fair distance, best.

I wouldn't say the cast are anything exceptional but they do what's needed. Tessa Thompson and Justin Theroux give good performances as Lady and Tramp respectively, while Adrian Martinez's Elliot is probably the character I'll remember most - away from the two dogs, of course. Janelle Monáe, Sam Elliott and Yvette Nicole Brown are decent too; even if it is difficult to picture the latter as a baddie.

They get rid of the "The Siamese Cat Song", though the replacement tune is actually fairly good. The other songs, like "La La Lu", remain but are obviously tinkered. The run time is longer, which I don't think was nessacary but they fill it well enough.

Solid attempt.

Pathetic, they cursed the original. The plot is not the same and the couple is now mixed-raced. Not only many positive white characters were replaced with black, but also the remaining white characters were given additional negative traits, so we got a movie with stupid whites and smart blacks - that's how it should be in post BLM US production. They used real humans and computer generated images but somehow they managed to make the plot less real than the original. It's ridiculous to see some of the first cars ever made and mixed-raced marriage in the same movie, did they forget that these were times of segregation? Obviously they realized this movie is bad and boring, that's why they used the same title as the successful production to get attention and sell. Waste of time, don't watch unless you are black and want to see your discriminated race finally appreciated in classic movie. The only reason it doesn't deserve the lowest rating is the fact that people who don't know the correct version of the title may be able to finish it.
